Warm Bean Dip

As I sit here and type this, I am so stuffed from dinner. Like, roll me over, put a blanket on me and wake me up in the morning - stuffed.

However, I look at this picture of bean dip and I want to eat it all. How is that even possible? Because I just love food and I know it loves me. I have the jiggly thighs to prove it.

I hope some of y'all are getting excited and geared up for the Super Bowl. I know I am gearing up and excited about eating Super Bowl party food. Today I'm going to throw one more into the mix and then I promise I won't pester you with more party food! Well, I can't promise, but I'll try really, super hard.

Add remaining cheese on top of dip and bake for another 5 minutes until cheese is melted.

Serve warm with your favorite tortilla chips.

Cook’s Note: This is the basic recipe but you can definitely turn up the heat and flair with this. Use a can of tomatoes with diced green chiles (like Rotel) to turn up the heat or try using Pepper Jack cheese. Also, try spreading an 8 ounce block of softened cream cheese on the bottom of the dish first before spreading the bean dip on top. Throw in a small can of diced olives and you have a warm dip that is similar to a 7 layer dip. This dip still tastes great when it has cooled.

I apologize if anyone has had any troubles making a comment on here today. I think the blogger platform has been having some issues. I TRULY appreciate you trying to leave me a comment. I'm hoping this gets sorted out soon because I'm having a great giveaway tomorrow!! Stay tuned!!

Can I come spend the Superbowl with you? Why do we have to have games and superbowls to enjoy these ridiculously naughty foods?!?!? WHY!?!I agree, I love food and it loves me....a little too much. I wish I liked working out more, but instead I will just work out my palette!

Thank you for your kind words today, that was sweet and much appreciated. Isn't any day a good day for bean dip? Every year we have friends over for superbowl and every year they ask for bean dip! I can't wait! -Gina-

This looks like a really great party, can I come...everything looks really good, I would just stand at the table and graze. Thank you for coming to Full Plate Thursday. Stay warm and cozy this week end! Hope to see you next week!

This sounds so yummy! I am wanting to make a crockpot dip for my daughter's birthday party...do you think this would work to make it in there? How long would you put it in for? We're eating about an hour after the party starts and I won't have access to an oven, so it'd be a lot easier to do it in a slow cooker. Thoughts?
